Strategic advisory for the end-to-end lifecycle of large-scale renewable energy installations and utility optimization. This service focuses on converting environmental sustainability goals into high-ROI capital projects (CAPEX). Leveraging experience in hybrid solar-biogas systems and smart lighting, I provide technical site assessments, procurement oversight, and rigorous budget tracking. I bridge the gap between technical engineering and financial business cases, ensuring energy-intensive operations (such as industrial greenhouses or processing units) achieve maximum efficiency through data-driven monitoring and localized technology adaptation.
Expert consultancy in designing and scaling climate-resilient agricultural value chains in volatile or emerging markets. This service specializes in the Energy-Agriculture Nexus, integrating modern agritech and "Blue Economy" solutions—such as seaweed-based nutrition and solar-powered irrigation—into existing production models. I provide "human-centric" operational leadership, managing institutional relations (UNDP, GIZ, WFP), and digitalizing field monitoring via Power BI and CommCare. I ensure that large-scale interventions (100,000+ beneficiaries) remain compliant with international standards while maintaining the agility needed for last-mile delivery.
With over 12 years of field-proven expertise across West and East Africa, I specialize in scaling complex infrastructures where technology meets community resilience. I currently lead a pan-African school meals initiative across five countries, pioneering the use of seaweed-based fortified foods to bridge the gap between coastal blue carbon ecosystems and continental food security. My track record includes directing 500+ hectare hydro-agricultural developments and managing EU-funded sustainable energy programs. I combine a deep technical mastery of hybrid solar-biogas systems with advanced data analytics (Power BI, CommCare) to ensure every project is both climate-resilient and financially viable. From negotiating high-stakes contracts with the UNDP and GIZ to managing last-mile logistics for 100,000+ farmers, I turn ambitious sustainability goals into measurable human impact.
